Having never been a member of the FB group, what I don’t understand is why people continue to post there, let alone engage in pointless arguments with what sounds like the group of trolls serving as admins.
Also, if it’s not a D65 affiliated group, what is stopping someone from starting a splinter group?

I think it's exactly as Megan explained. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as just starting a new group. I think there actually is one. But there would have to be a more effective means of bringing people over from the one in question. So then you have this problem that certain people seem to have larger megaphones to an audience of 4500 people with a vested interest in D65. I think that number amounts to about 1/2 of the votes cast in the 2023 election!
Additionally, many who would otherwise comment there have come here for a similar purpose. Only real difference is we just have a comment section vs. having dedicated forums and threads not necessarily tied to a specific post Tom published.
